VOLUME Compton Frame
by ridesavolume (Luke) | 13 Sep 2005 9:11 pm
As youve probably gathered from my user name i ride a volume 
to be exact a Volume compton.
specs:
20 or 21 inch top tube (i have the 20" tt)
HT 74.5 degree, ST 71 degree
Seatstay AD mounts.
colours: blue,black,cream.
4130 cromoly tubing. not sure of the wieght though, its not that heavy though.
I originaly had the black paint, but have since resprayed it .
Well, i bought this frame 2 years ago at a cheaper price than usual(£160), because it was the last they had in stock and needed to sell it -yay for me!
The frames design is very simple, no gussets, just tubes, overall a very clean looking frame with clean welds!(made in taiwan too !)
Fitting the headset and bottom bracket cups, was not exactly hard, but wasnt easy! but since the cups have stayed were they should have 
I cant really think of anything else to say about the technical stuff so onto how it rides..
Well being a short 20 inch tt frame , it spins pretty easy,and is generally easy to chuck about, it feels real at home at the skatepark and on street , its not bad for trails either though.
Manuals are fairly easy as it has a quite short back end.
The frame itself is strong, over the 2 years of riding it , its only got one very small dent in the chainstay .Its been in some not too nice bails aswell as some rather sketchy grinds , but its held up fine.
If i ever get a new frame it will most likely be , because i feel like a change rather than the volume having died on me.
Overall , if youre looking for a cheap,full chromo, decent frame thats gonna last and wont kill your wallet, id suggest a Volume compton =)
Pros:
+Strong
+Cheap
+Full Chromo
+Feels great to ride
Cons:
-Heavy
-US BB only
-No longer made (but still sold)
Costs: about $189 USD
